Abstract

Disclosed is a banner stand adapted to attach to and detach from a glassy surface. The banner stand includes a vacuum suction plate made of a soft material, a suction latching protrusion protruding from the vacuum suction plate; a lower support having a slanted lateral wall portion formed along a peripheral edge of an upper end of a base ring portion, the slanted lateral wall portion having operation ribs extending thereon at an interval; a suction plate operation member having rib guide protrusions guided on the operation ribs, a suction latching protrusion support, and a ball joint coupler; and a pole support having a pair of ball joints positioned on a bottom surface of a body so as to be coupled to the ball joint coupler of the suction plate operation member.

Claims

exact text as granted — not AI-modified
1. A banner stand adapted to attach to and detach from a glassy surface, the banner stand comprising:
 a disk-shaped vacuum suction plate ( 100 ) having a flat bottom surface, a number of fixing protrusions ( 110 ) integrally formed along a peripheral edge of an upper surface, a circular latching protrusion base ( 120 ) protruding from a central portion inside the fixing protrusions ( 110 ) so as to form a step, and a suction latching protrusion ( 130 ) protruding from a central portion of the latching protrusion base ( 120 ); 
 a lower support ( 200 ) having an annular base ring portion ( 210 ) fastened to a peripheral edge of an upper surface of the vacuum suction plate ( 100 ), a slanted lateral wall portion ( 220 ) extending along an inner peripheral surface of the base ring portion ( 210 ) so as to form a conical wall surface, fixing protrusion latching grooves ( 230 ) formed along an inner peripheral surface of the slanted lateral wall portion ( 220 ), the fixing protrusions ( 110 ) being coupled into the fixing protrusion latching grooves ( 230 ), and operation ribs ( 240 ) extending along a peripheral edge of an upper end of the slanted lateral wall portion ( 220 ) at an interval; 
 a suction plate operation member ( 300 ) having a conical first lateral wall portion ( 310 ) adapted to externally abut an outer peripheral surface of the slanted lateral wall portion ( 220 ) of the lower support ( 200 ), rib guide protrusions ( 320 ) formed on an inner peripheral surface of the first lateral wall surface ( 310 ) at an interval so as to be guided on the operation ribs ( 240 ), respectively, an upper base ( 330 ) integrally formed on an upper end of the first lateral wall portion ( 310 ) so as to form a horizontal surface, a second lateral wall portion ( 340 ) extending from a central portion of the upper base ( 330 ) in a conical shape, a suction latching protrusion support ( 350 ) extending downwards from a central portion of the second lateral wall portion ( 340 ) with an upper portion of the suction latching protrusion ( 130 ) inserted into and fixed to a lower portion of the suction latching protrusion support ( 350 ), and a ball joint coupler ( 360 ) coupled to an upper portion of the suction latching protrusion support ( 350 ) inside the central portion of the second lateral wall portion ( 340 ); and 
 a pole support ( 400 ) having a body ( 420 ), a pair of ball joints ( 410 ) positioned on a bottom surface of the body ( 420 ) so as to be coupled to the ball joint coupler ( 360 ) of the suction plate operation member ( 300 ) while being able to play, and a number of pole insertion holes ( 430 ) formed on a lateral wall of the body ( 420 ). 
 
   
   
     2. The banner stand as claimed in  claim 1 , wherein the vacuum suction plate ( 100 ) comprises a disk-shaped suction plate ( 140 ) having a flat bottom surface, the suction plate ( 140 ) being made of a soft material, and the latching protrusion base ( 120 ), the suction latching protrusion ( 130 ) protruding from the central portion of the latching protrusion base ( 120 ), is made of a hard material and is integral with the suction plate ( 140 ) so as to protrude from a central portion of the suction plate ( 140 ) and form a step. 
   
   
     3. The banner stand as claimed in  claim 1 , wherein the operation ribs ( 240 ) of the lower support ( 200 ) have a guide protrusion stopping groove ( 241 ) formed on an upper end so to seat the rib guide protrusions ( 320 ), respectively. 
   
   
     4. The banner stand as claimed in  claim 1 , wherein a number of latching protrusion latching pieces ( 351 ) are coupled to the suction latching protrusion support ( 350 ) of the suction plate operation member ( 300 ) so as to form arcs, each latching protrusion latching piece ( 351 ) having a latching step ( 352 ) protruding towards a center from an end in an L-shaped configuration. 
   
   
     5. The banner stand as claimed in  claim 1 , wherein the ball joint coupler ( 360 ) of the suction plate operation member ( 300 ) has a friction member ( 361 ) formed on an inner peripheral surface, the friction member ( 361 ) being made of a soft material.
